Meet our founder
Hi, my name is Dr Lianne Brkic
I am a physiotherapist with over 20 years of healthcare experience in the UK and Australia and have a PhD in Stroke Rehabilitation.
Over the years, I have provided specialist care for people in hospitals, community settings, and rehabilitation centres.
I get a lot of job satisfaction in supporting adults with neurological conditions or older people living with complex health needs.
I love living and working in Brisbane and feel lucky to serve such a vibrant and welcoming community.

In the news and her academic research publications
A chance encounter in a supermarket on a recent trip to the UK reminded me of the impact physiotherapists can have on people's lives.
Such a pleasure to see Lisa again (on the left) and hear she has decided to pursue her dream of becoming a physiotherapist.
I'm honoured to have inspired her to help others.

"You were my inspiration"
